Problem accessing nodes from xsl:import

Hi List,

I'm using Xalan-J from a Unix shell session.

My main XSL file (main.xsl) used to convert an XML file to HTML imports
another stylesheet (main-loc.xsl) which defines some nodes containing
texts for localization (i18n). Both stylesheets are in the same directory.

--------   main.xsl ---------
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
	xmlns:local="http://www.mydom.es/2007/HTML/BBI-Miembros"
	exclude-result-prefixes="local">

	<xsl:param name="language"/>

	<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"
		doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
		doctype-system="http://www.w3c.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"
		encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>

	<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

	<!-- <xsl:include href="main-loc.xsl"/> --> (1) see below

	<local:footer>
		<last-modif lang="en"><![CDATA[Last updated:]]></last-modif>
		<copyright lang="en"><![CDATA[Copyright ) The Enterprise]]></copyright>

		<last-modif lang="es"><![CDATA[Zltima actualizacisn:]]></last-modif>
		<copyright lang="es"><![CDATA[Copyright ) The Enterprise]]></copyright>

		<last-modif lang="fr"><![CDATA[Mise ` jour:]]></last-modif>
		<copyright lang="fr"><![CDATA[Copyright ) The Enterprise]]></copyright>
	</local:footer>

...

</xsl:stylesheet>


--------  main-loc.xsl ---------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
	xmlns:local="http://www.mydom.es/2007/HTML/BBI-Miembros">

	<local:footer>
		<last-modif lang="en"><![CDATA[Last updated:]]></last-modif>
		<copyright lang="en"><![CDATA[Copyright ) The Enterprise]]></copyright>

		<last-modif lang="es"><![CDATA[Zltima actualizacisn:]]></last-modif>
		<copyright lang="es"><![CDATA[Copyright ) The Enterprise]]></copyright>

		<last-modif lang="fr"><![CDATA[Mise ` jour:]]></last-modif>
		<copyright lang="fr"><![CDATA[Copyright ) The Enterprise]]></copyright>
	</local:footer>
... (more <local:*> nodes)
</xsl:stylesheet>

In main.xsl, when I want to access those texts depending on the "language"
parameter, I do:

<xsl:value-of
select="document('')/xsl:stylesheet/local:footer/last-modif[@lang=$language]"
/>

or

<xsl:value-of
select="document('')/xsl:stylesheet/local:footer/copyright[@lang=$language]"/
>

When the contents of main-loc.xsl are explicitly declared/defined in
main.xsl,
no problem: it works fine. However, I've decided to take those out of the
main
XSL for flexibility/modularity reasons. Thus I substituted/replaced all the
<local:*> nodes with (1), and have put them into another .xsl file. Although
there is no error message and the transformation gets done, it seems as if
main.xsl didn't *find* the imported nodes.

I suspect this is related to (relative) path, but does anybody know what's
going on?
Any hint or suggestion or even another approach would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Aitor.
